In a big hall, A majority of people were sitting. There was a conference going on, which was not a normal conference, It was a wedding conference. A place where people from the different districts came with their children, to find a suitable partner for their children.

A person in his mid 50's came with his beautiful daughter. She was fair in color, she had soft pinkish lips, dark black eyes with a pinch of kohl, which made her look appealing for the conference.

"It's been four years since Mr. Sharma has been coming here, he always comes with the hand of his daughter, with a hope that today, he'll find a suitable groom for his daughter but every time he has to return being disappointed and hopeless. Just because of the incident which occurred eight years ago and changed lives."
Muttered a man from the organization.

A person, who was sitting with his daughter near him, feels bad after hearing his conversation.

The organizers had fixed everyone's marriage by now. And at last, Mr. Sharma's daughter and one other boy were left. Being disappointed in their fate, they started leaving the hall, just then one of the organizers approached them.

"Mr sharma and Mr. Agarwal, come and sit with us." Ordered, one of the organisers.

They came and sat beside them, with their children.

"Mr. Agarwal, as far as I know, you are also unable to find a suitable bride for your son because of his small height, and even Mr. Sharma's daughter is also not getting married, so why don't you both pair up your children with each other." Advised, one of the Organisers.

"What are you saying? Do you even know what you are saying? At least think once before saying,

You are asking me to make this girl, 'my daughter in law', why don't you make your son married to her?

It's better to die, rather than making this girl my daughter in law. This characterless girl who has slept with...."
cried Mr. Agarwal, but stopped in his mid-tracks when he saw Mr. Sharma glaring at him.

Mr. Agarwal stood up from his seat and left the hall silently with his son.

Mr. Sharma's daughter, Bella sharma, who was listening to their convos silently, stood up from her seat and ran from there, breaking down in tears.

She went to her favourite place, the famous monument of Agra, 'The Taj Mahal', and sat on the nearby bench.

Bella's Pov;
"About eight years ago, An incident happened in my life, which turned me and my family's lives upside down and gave us tears but we stayed strong because these people, this society helped us, then why the hell, they taunting me with that incident now, after eight years? Why?

If that time they showed sympathy towards me then why not today? Why is this society not letting me get married at my 24?

I want to live a happy married life like others but no one wants to marry me. I want to live my 24 as every girl lives. But everyone thinks that I have no right to live my '24'. But why so? Why this partiality? I'm also a human. Just because I have a dark past, I can't live a normal life?

I'm hell tired of all this now. Why did my parents not let me die eight years back? They would've lived a happy life without me but they saved me from dying and ended up inviting tears in their lives."
Thought Bella and cried thinking the same.

Bella's pov ends,

when a familiar hand touches her shoulder. He was none other than her father Mr. Krishnakant sharma. He came and sat beside her.

NARRATOR's POV;

Life is not easy for everyone and especially for those who have a dark past, but they have the right to live their life, the way they want. Everyone gives them sympathy all the time but when it comes to holding their hand, everyone takes their hands back, why? Just because they have a dark past? Is this world cruel like this ?

I guess, 'no', because somewhere in this world, some people exist who are positive thinkers. They accept the person with their present without caring about their past. They give them a new life, a happy one And here on this platform, I'm going to present such a story in front of you.

Story of Bella , she was a chirpy, bubbly, happy-go-lucky, girl. There was nothing dark in her world. But eight years back, one evening of 26 August changed her life, she broke down, she wanted to die, but her family supported her and gave her a reason to live. But she feels alone in this world, she wants a partner with whom she can share her happiness and sorrows. Will she find such a partner ? Let's see in further updates .

Author's pov ends.

Lots of love!
